in a case like this, there should have been doubt and worry, because of the very nature of the accusation. It should have been scrutinised to death. Every comma. But glaring bias is accepted, because "we believe the legal system will never act in bad faith".

I was gonna say, ignore the nasty tone of the article. It discusses the legal matters in good depth, and that is what I wanted us to focus on. And yes, the law is biased. It always has been. But the fact remains, there is more than sufficient legal grounds for Tommy's sentence.

Ignore the tone??? You think that tone doesn't come with reporting bias? You think you are immune??? You are naive. You believe the "facts" you want and ignore others. You have done a great job of ignoring many of my claims and repeating "the law is the law".

Again, it'd be great if you could back up your claims with evidence. I've already pointed out the laws Tommy broke. Could you provide any exonerating circumstances?

Twitter is never enough for serious arguments. Facebook is SLIGHTLY better. I'm referring to my comment and especially the "agonising care" part: https://www.facebook.com/groups/425504050908112/permalink/1012866372171874/?comment_id=1013094492149062&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D …

starts with "The ease at which people..." just in case it doesn't open at it (which it sometimes doesn't)

Had there not been a media ban on the arrest, I would have been slightly less worried (but still worried) Had it not been so quick, I would have been FAR less worried Had the arrest and trial been for the same offence I would have been slightly less worried /1

Had the sentence been not so high (I count only what is above the suspended) I would have been less worried. But the most worrying of all is the absolute lack of serious consideration of the case by anyone who dislikes Tommy.

I have no ill will toward Tommy at all. I've even defended him in writing. But like I said, he did break the law-as-written, and the sentence he received is within the law (though he'll be released much sooner), so it's hard to defend him in this instance.

So, you have NEVER argued against the justification of a sentence? And you have ALWAYS claimed those that do are wrong? And you ignore common sense of so many issues because "the law is the law"? And all this in a case on the most important liberal value?
